Codes of Conduct - Social Media

The Social Media Code of Conduct

Volleyball is intended to be a recreational activity for enjoyment and health. This code of conduct has been developed to give participants some guide to the expectations it has on those participants. It is intended to assist everyone to obtain the maximum benefit and enjoyment from their involvement in Volleyball. As a result, the quality of participation will be improved so people are more likely to start and continue their involvement in Volleyball.

Social media offers the opportunity for people to gather in online communities of shared interest and create, share or consume content. As a member-based organisation, The Bendigo Volleyball Association (BVA) recognises the benefits of social media as an important tool of engagement and enrichment for its members.
It is important that Volleyball's reputation is not tarnished by anyone using social media tools inappropriately, particularly in relation to any content that might reference the organisation.
When someone clearly identifies their association with Bendigo Volleyball, and/or discusses their involvement in the organisation in this type of forum, they are expected to behave and express themselves appropriately, and in ways that are consistent with BVA's stated values and policies.

The BVA Board of Directors has decided that the Social Media Policies of Volleyball Australia should apply to Bendigo Volleyball Association. Download the full details of this policy from the BVA website.
